Slide 1

The Multi Store Model:A representation of memory based on havingmore than one different store for rememberedinfo. Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) proposedthis model on evidence related to separate storesof memory. Info enters sensory memory, and isinitially stored in STM. If it is not rehearsed, it islost Continued rehearsal leads to LTM storage.…read more

Slide 2

There is general agreement that there isSTM/LTM distinction which is wellsupported by evidence. The multi-storemodel uses the evidence of there beingdifferent types of memory. The multi-store model is the basis of many later models, even if they were subsequently divided into further STM and LTM stores.…read more

When asked to recall a list of words, people tended to remember thestart and end of lists better than the middle, because of primacy andrecency effect.· The primacy = in LTM· The recency = in STM (Glanzer and Cunitz found that ifthere is a distractor task the recency effect is removed)…read more

Slide 5

The multi-store model is probably an oversimplification of memory processes. As there aredifferent kinds of LTM (p+d C and S 1980 and d=e+sT 1972) This model doesn't inclu. them. It proposesthat there is just one long term store and only oneshort term store. It presents a passive view of memory and cannot account for the evidence that suggests LTM is an active store and is involved in processes such as reconstruction.We often don't actively try to store thingsin our LTM so rehearsal doesn't adequatelyexplain what happens here.…read more
